3d printed eyes by me

It's heavily inspired by a doll that the Twisted Hatter had in one of her Instagram videos and uses pieces of her Preya Mask pattern for the top of the skull and the mouth. The rest of the doll is just freehand! The body, mandibles, brows, cheekbones, dreads, and armor and such is just me kinda figuring it out as I went along! I genuinely can't believe I pulled it off!

Richard Chaves, one of the actors in the original Predator movie found it and shared it on his Instagram account a week or so ago which was super exciting as a new crocheter. 😁😁😁

I love how it turned out, followed VivCrochets tutorial on youtube.

The bag itself is quite stretchy though, any suggestions on how this could be avoided for next projects, and how could I make this one more usable.

Not a debutante in crochet but this is my first doily ! :) it has been wet blocked during the night and I am quite proud as how it turned out :D

I used size 10 crochet thread and a 2.0mm hook

I saw these vintage Sandylion stickers on Pinterest and thought they'd be a fun challenge to practice tapestry crochet. I designed my own patterns in Procreate based on these lil' guys and the two I completed took about eight hours each because I'm slow. I have not blocked either because I'm not sure about doing that with a chenille/velvet yarn and I plan to put them on dowels to hang in my new place.

Yarn used is Petite Purl from Loops and Thread, and some random acrylics I was gifted (unsure of brand but they're very buttery!), and a size 4.5 Clover Amour hook. I chose the Petite Purl for the white background to mimic the softness that paper obtains as it ages!

Starting off with I did NOT make the blanket and I could never take credit for that work of art.

My (long deceased) grandmother crocheted this blanket while she was pregnant with my mother. Last Christmas I gave out “crochet coupons” as stocking stuffers because I’m sick of making things for people that they don’t like/want/use. My mom asked me a couple months ago to make pillows that match this blanket, even sent an inspo daisy pillow picture. We took the blanket to the craft store and color matched as good as we could. And here are the results. I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out despite their flaws.

No pattern because I freehanded off the inspo pic. But good god I’m done with granny squares for a fat minute lol

Watermarking so my pictures don’t end up on a Facebook page with an AI sob story

I made some gloves! Im super proud of them

I'm actually a little bit surprised (and slightly more annoyed) by how long it's taken me to figure out how I'm supposed to be handling everything up to the base of the collar. And had a few mistakes to iron out, as well. But it seems that I've got everything that I've learned so far accounted for, so in theory all I need to do is follow my charts and just keep going.

Also, when I'd frogged back, I'd been under the impression that I needed to remove four pairs of rows, assuming that I'd been at the 12th row-pair in my chart. Well, counting stitches in the row proved that I'd somehow frogged back to the 7th row in the chart, which it turns out is where I'd actually needed to be. Very lucky outcome!

If you've seen my complaints about my green scarf and the skeins I'd wound myself not twisting enough to avoid it completely untwisting on me, you won't be surprised to hear that it turns out I'm having the exact same issue with this yarn. Despite having wound this stuff into a ball, instead of a cake. I'll need to watch far more carefully how it works up this time around.

I'm feeling pretty good about the next steps, and am desperately hoping I don't run into yet more issues. Fingers crossed!

Slow and steady gets there in the end, at least.
